An icon in the tool bar would help to remind users, who may be browsing anywhere, that sudo is active. This button could also have a timer, and "stop" attached, clicking it could run "sudo -k"

1. The default Search should be able to find all Ideas with the word 'raid' in their title.

2. The results page should not list the drop-down selector, e.g. 'Most Popular Last 30 Days", since it suggests that the results may be filtered (but does not definitively state such)

3. The results page should clearly state ANY and ALL filters being used. Yes, there is an indicator in the top-right near the search window but I would like the search parameter and all filters listed in the primary results 'window'

4. There should be a clear indicator and preference for whether the search is for Idea 'Title' and/or 'Body'. Currently there is no indication one way or the other.

having this installed at the 1st instances saves the 1st aggravation of having to hit the num-lock button constantly.

Then when you give up on this having to search to see if it can be automatically done for you.

I realise half the fun is to search and discover, but a new user might think it a little flaky not to have this setup to begin with. I have used and loved Ubuntu for near on 4 years.

Additionally to the buttons "cancel", "skip" and "replace" a new option should be provided:

"paste file using a different name"

the new name would then have to be entered into a text field.

This would make it easier to move files, because conflicts could be resolved directly without changing existing files or going back to other folders.

By example, if in 1 year the user was inactive (or karma = 0) release for others users that wants that "name".

1) Allow taskbar items to dynamically resize based on their usage. If I'm constantly toggling between two files, it would be nice if their icons were slightly bigger or easier to recognize versus less frequently used items.

2) Allow for selective grouping of applications in the taskbar. This sorta comes from observing how windows behaves. If the taskbar is getting crowded, it groups items of a similar application. This is annoying if the files I'm looking at are grouped away in another level of indirection, thus forcing the user to hunt-and-click some more. It would be nice to have an icon represent a group of infrequently used items, that way I could free up more taskbar space for important applications.

This is similar to compiz's window-grouping feature, but that feature lacks the ability to select the active window from the taskbar item.

3) Allow for icons on the taskbar to have two selective sizes: small or large. This way, again, I could assign more weight to heavily used applications and less to infrequently accessed ones.

I guess, it should be GTK, since that is what most lightweight systems (LXDE, XFCE, etc) are based upon. You could use all the C libs and do the app itself in PyGTK, since it would be easier to develop.

It shouldn't support all the formats. It's hard to implement, the current implementations are slow and buggy anyhow. So pick ODT as default! It's a format we can support the best. For MSO-compatibility we can offer RTF/RTFD (which is RTF with images). Yeah, MS Word and WordPad don't really follow the standard, but RTF should be relatively easy (because there is a specification from MS) to implement, so it's a compromise. Anyways, we don't have to bother with DOC and DOCX - and so we can get a fast app. Do one thing, but do it good.

Other output format should include PDF/PS (since it's easy to get PDF/PS output for GTK apps) and xhtml (because we are in 2010, so we need a web publication-ready app).

It should also have shortcuts for all main features, because people who work with text a lot prefer to keep their hands on the keyboard.

The functionality should be well-defined. We need things like changes history (like in Kword, where you can get back to any revision of the text), all the main formatting options. I would also love to see a "Reveal codes"-like feature (like in WordPerfect) where you can manually define formatting with markup tags. We could use a Markdown-like language for that, which is easy to and doesn't get into spell checker's way. And it's great for doing things that usually suck in WYSIWYG, like lists and images.

Adding the "Force Quit" to the menu item on right-click over the taskbar(to who worked on windows - similar to Task Manager to close the frozen windows/apps) will be effective & reliable.
